      • Laurent Coulondre Trio: Tribute to Michel Petrucciani - Jazz á Séte

        Laurent Coulondre trio; 'Michel on my mind' Tribute to Michel Petrucciani; Laurent Coulondre, piano, keyboard; Jérémy Bruyére, double bass; Martin Wangermée, drums; Setlist; Looking Up (Michel Petrucciani); Laura (Laurent Coulondre); Chorinino (Laurent Coulondre); Les grelots (Eddy Louiss); Michel on my mind (Laurent Coulondre); Brazilian like (Michel Petrucciani); Cantabile (Michel Petrucciani); A new sensation on the French piano scene, Laurent Coulondre pays tribute to one of the musicians who has most marked his career as a musician and jazzman: Michel Petrucciani. The keyboard prodigy plunges frantically into the strings of the acoustic piano and chooses the trio as a formula to revive the repertoire of the pianist with brittle bones, and shows us - if needs be - that jazz is a language that he negotiates with masterly hands (left included). Coulondre elegantly composes and arranges a solar and generous repertoire, equal to the height of genius. Steeped in the creativity and harmony long promoted by Petrucciani, this homage reflects the perfect osmosis between volcanic rhythm and subtle melodies. Recorded on July 18, 2020, Parc du Chateau d'eau, Jazz á Séte; TV Director, Samuel Thiebaut (40 min)

      • Dave Holland, Zakir Hussain & Chris Potter - Jazz in Marciac

        Zakir Hussain (tabla); Chris Potter (saxophone); Dave Holland (double bass); The Indian composer and percussionist Zakir Hussain is THE tabla player of his generation. The tabla is a percussion instrument from the north of India which does indeed give rhythm to the musician's compositions as much when he is performing solo as here when he is accompanied by the bass player Dave Holland or the tenor saxophonist Chris Potter. Considered as a national treasure in India, this artist accrues performances with no less than 150 concerts per year and a career which began at 12 years of age! Perhaps the most impressive virtuoso of the tenor saxophone according to Michel Contat of Télérama, Chris Potter comes from the generation of saxophonists who came to the fore during the course of the 1990's alongside Joshua Redman, James Carter, Chris Cheek and Seamus Blake. Very quickly, this native of Chicago attracted attention because of his succulent tenor sound and a very personal manner of constructing his solos, imposing himself as a reference amongst his peers. Dave Holland's class! This majestic double bass with a round sound. A self-taught double bass player whose atypical manner of playing and magnificent sound were quickly noticed by a certain Miles Davis. A great composer as well. A great leader too.Together with Miles Davis, Chick Corea, Stan Getz or heading up his own groups, the Brit could never be happy with the minimum. Recorded at Jazz in Marciac Festival (Circus top), on July 28, 2018; TV Director, Jean-Marc Birraux (59 min)

      • Jaime Woods - Festival International de Jazz de Montréal

        Jaime Woods at the International Jazz Festival of Montréal 2016; Like many before her, Jaime Woods' career began in a church. Learning and sharpening her work on the Gospel scene, in Chicago, she moved in the East Coast for a brief schooling at Berklee College. The opportunity there to explore different types of music pushed her towards New York, and in particular Brooklyn. Jaime has since been into strong collaborations with Bilal, Casey Benjamin, Gadget, Cloche Jennah, Jose James, Emily King, Nick Hakim, Roy Hargrove, Kendra Foster, Gary Bartz, Lalah Hathaway, Haitus Kaiyote... Leaning on her soul voice, upon a precise and delicate instrumentation, Jaime is undoubtedly a stand-out artist who shows, despite her 25 years, a great maturity and true sensitivity. Recorded on June 29th at the Théâtre Maisonneuve, Montréal; TV direction by Mathieu Mastin; 24.12.2020 (47 min)
